So, I need a bag for uni because the school backpack and I can't just carry all my shit around in my hands.

So, I was wondering, where the hell can I get a guy's bag from?!
There are so many shops that sell women's bags compared to maybe two that sell mens.

I'm looking for something <$200 (<$100 would be preferable) and like a satchel (I hate backpacks so much) or something.

Thanks brosefskis.

Witchery at Pitt St had a decent one, that was a light greyish colour and it was under $150 and maybe even under $100.
Fossil have tons, but the price may be a bit above that, unless there is a sale.
Maybe also try Country Road, Zara, and maybe the bag shops in the Strand Arcade in the City if you are near that.

But a backpack is soooooooooooo much better (for your back than a satchel). WHAAAAAAAAA.... DO TEH RIGHT THING.

Lol jokes.

Um, you could always go for the over-used Country Road bags. Other stores sell the same thing for something relatively less but they're mostly targeted to a female audience. You could always use a somewhat fashionable London bag. Or get a side bag from Dangerfield.

I'll check them out next time I go to the city.
Yeah, I went to fossil and the bags were $192864120462193061935619056130 or something. :lol:
I've been in Zara a few times and their bag collection isn't extensive and isn't that great. I'll check country road because I said I'd go there for shorts too.

woollies recylable bag (green) < $5

you're welcome
Already have a bunch, plus Coles and other assorted bags, but I'm going to USyd and don't want to be teased, so yeah...

Backpacks are the blurst. Having one for 13 years was the worst, a satchel-type bag suits me more and doesn't hurt my bag like hell (just my shoulder).

Thanks, I'll check them out. :)

Well, preferably <$100, but for good quality that will last me for the entirety of uni and maybe longer I could go up to $200 (I'd still haggle for a discount).
No, backpacks are horrible, and I'm sick of them.

I have the opposite problem

I want a backpack not a stupid little satchel that doesn't hold anything and makes my shoulders hurt

nothing but ugly black canvas backpacks for IT students.

We should swap then. Solves all our problems. (Swap what? I don't know.)

But I just need like a satchel to hold books and pens anyways. Backpacks feel weird.

The Autumn collection? Because I'm looking at the Autumn Winter Collection online and they are so expensive! One is reasonable but it looks fugly. But I buy shorts from witchery and they're pretty cool. Except my favourite Witchery shorts shrunk in the dryer. :'(

I need to look for some bags for uni too. Life is not good for an IT/Commerce student.

i need a new handbag. my dog chewed the handle on my old one. stupid dog.

it was like 280. it's a bit expensive, but whatever. it's leather and i was thinking like it's better to spend a bit more on something that is good quality (witchery own mimco so i'm telling myself i pretty much got a mimco bag half price) and you know will last.
plus i use it every day so whatever.

To dry them, it was a hot day and they had just come out of the washing machine. I wasn't thinking straight that day.

My old bag from Big W is still alive... from Year 8. I still use it.

Nobody gives a crap about what kind of bag you have.

I give a crap.

I don't want to look like a primary school kid (which is a challenge for me because I look 12).
